4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is absolutely horrible. Principal does not care to respond to my email about my daughter getting bullied. This school does not communicate with parents. There are no extra curricular activities. There was only one parent teacher meeting in the beginning of school. There hasn't been after school activities or after school dances. There is nothing to look forward to when going to this school. The staff do not care about the child's well being. Teachers don't reach out if your child is falling behind. Extremely disappointed with this school. There's too many fights that happen in this school, it is ridiculous. Don't send your child here is all I have to say.Parent Review2mo ago - John G Whittier #2

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter was discriminated against because of her age and was lowered to second grade when she had passed it and was supposed to be a third grader. Plus nobody called to tell me I learned about when she arrived home crying. And she was supposed to have an ESL teacher witch she never got. I went to the district nothing was done still waiting for the superintendent to call me. I ended up withdrawing my daughter and moving the experience was horrible.Parent Review10y ago - Scranton High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible. I graduated from this school with all As and Bs. When I got to college I was immediately behind. An A at this school is equivalent to a C at better schools. Just look at the test averages,. As for leadership and character building, this school is apathetic to development of its students. Fortunately I had good parenting at home that helped with this.Other Review8y ago
